The Megalist of Comic Book Should Read Lists

Some of the most popular kinds of questions How to Love Comics receives are based on reading recommendations for certain characters or themes. Many readers are craving stories for a certain character or theme and are looking for some of the best. As a result, over the almost 3 years of How to Love Comics I’ve (and the occasional guest contributor) put together a string of “should read” lists based on a broad range of themes – from Superman to Spider-Man to Dinosaurs and more.

I’ve decided to put all these “should read” lists all into one big mega list for you’re viewing pleasure. With all the lists in the one spot you’ll have access to tonne of awesome comics which will definitely scratch you’re character itch.

I suggest bookmarking this page as new lists will be added here once they go up on the site. If you’re looking for a certain theme or character and I haven’t done a list for them yet let me know in the comments at the bottom of the page and I’ll see what I can do!

DC Comics Lists

If you’ve been enjoying the current Black Canary comic then you’ll want to check out this list to discover more great comics featuring her. Guest contributor Emma has put together a great list of stories, both old and new, for those screaming for more.

While Superman can often to be written quite bland or boring there are dozens of fantastic stories from over 75 years of Superman history. I’ve showcased 13 that you should – mixing it up with fan favourites and landmark stories.

If there’s enough demand I should do a follow-up list with more stories you should read.

Marvel Lists

Shaking up the formula a little, instead of showcasing Fantastic Four stories pointed out four lengthy runs on Marvel’s first family that you should read. All of these are fan favourites and even some of the greatest examples of the comic book medium.
